Add veggie broth if it's too thick.

Notes
A trick I learned from Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker is to make an aluminum foil 'cradle'. Tear off a strip of aluminum foil that's a little longer as the bottom of your slow cooker added to the sides. Fold it in thirds lengthwise. Try fitting it into your slow cooker - it should at least come up to the edge on two sides. Take it out, put it on a cutting board and form your loaf on it in the middle.
You could probably use parchment paper instead of the aluminum. If you try it, let me know how it works.
